He watches her step in front of him. He hates he's so terrified of this maze, but to be fair, he had seen some scary stuff. Luckily he'd managed to escape the things he'd seen, but it was a relief to find Dromeda. He nods at her words, looking around to see more corn coming at them. He yelps when one bites his heel. "I want to get out of here as quickly as possible."

[dromeda-tonks]

Dromeda's gaze was operating on a swivel as she kept close to him, guarding him from whatever comes from ahead of them. When he yelps though she immediately turns to hold him in her arms before holding out her wand and loudly casting "Reducto!". Turning the stalk that bites at him and a couple surrounding stalks to dust. "I know, I know, Sweetheart. I promise we'll find our way out. Are you alright? How badly did it hurt you?"

Scorpius wasn't so happy about this maze thing. It had been interesting at first, but now he just wanted to get out of here. He couldn't help but be scared, wishing for one or both of his parents. He turned to Dromeda, eyes wide. He's ready to ask if she knows how to get them out of there, but then he notices corn moving. He watches the corn move, and then he panics. "Is it just me, or does it seem like the corn is trying to eat us?"

[dromeda-tonks]

Andromeda had been looking forward to celebrating the natural magic of fall and all the events the city had to offer. But this, well, it was magical but by no means natural in any way. The only good thing about this was meeting Scorpius and now she was only determined to make sure he got through this safely. Looking at the corn, she also couldn't help but notice the movement of the corn as well. Before answering, she moves in front of him in a protective gesture. "It is alright, nothing and no one is going to harm you." She assures him before pulling out her wand and casts immobulus on the corn, hoping for it to work and not be blocked by whatever strange magic was at work.

.｡.:*☆ Pandora had been struggling with her life in DC lately. Even with her family here. Because of everything that had happened, and Luna not remembering her or her father anymore.... So, Pandora had decided, as long as she was not at home over the day, she would burry herself in work. She needed to make some new potions and lucky charms to sell anyway, and was pretty much behind her shedule.

Today, Pandora was all on her own in Luna’s Magical Corner. She was just in the back, preparing some small gift bags, when hearing the doorbell chim.

“Coming!” The witch claimed, putting a smile on her face as she turned to head towards the front room.

[dromeda-tonks]

Andromeda could not resist giving this place a visit once she had heard of it. Although she was settling into her new life well, she craved more reminders of home within her everyday life. Sure, the name did have a familiarity to it, but it was easy for Andromeda to shake off. As she perused the selection, she was pleasantly shocked to see so many authentic reminders of home. "No worries." The witch automatically and absent-mindedly responds before the other comes into view. Seeing yet another ghost long passed causes Andromeda to pause for a moment. "Pandora, that is you, isn't it?"

Closed starter for @dromeda-tonks (Andromeda x Charlie)

Charlie left for Romania very quickly after graduating hogwarts. He knew where he wanted to be and what he wanted to do. Hagrid had always told him that he had the gift. And he only really came home for holidays but even then sometimes his family came to him. He of course came back for Bill and Fleurs wedding and when he brought reinforcements to the battle of hogwarts. He sort of knew Andromeda as she was Dora’s mother and he was quite close to Dora and Remus, as well as his other order members. “Andromeda, good to see you.” He bowed his head in respect, knowing that she had taken Teddy after Remus and Dora had died.

[dromeda-tonks]

Dromeda nods respectfully back with a smile. "Hello Bill. It is wonderful to see you here. I hope you and your family made it here safely." She had always considered Molly and her family to be like family to her. Although once Teddy and Vic became an item, she pulled back on that thought and instead looked forward to the day the Weasleys would officially be family.

[papcrrings-arch]

"Me too," Teddy replied, smiling. His mother being able to meet her made him very happy, "Mum has given up on him," he admitted, he was still processing that news, "She says it's been years so she moved on," he explained, not mentioning her new boyfriend because that wasn't his story to tell, "I would like that. You deserve your love too."

[dromeda-tonks]

Dromeda's smile dampens a little at hearing Teddy say his mother had given up on his father remembering her. She knew in concept, how tough of a topic that could be for the child involved. Even if that child was now fully grown, it doesn't make it any easier. "I know that is a lot to handle. As much as I love your Grandfather, I can't say I would blame him for making the same choice." The thought alone made her heart feel as though it were being ripped to shreds, but it was sincere. The woman could only imagine how much pain her child was in making that decision. Specially after years of holding onto hope. "Thank you, darling. I would love to have him back again. I'd feel more whole again in fact. Yet, I said that mainly with the thought of you and he finally being able to meet. To form that grandfather bond you hadn't had before."

[hiddenpxpercuts-deactivated2025]

ginny gave the other a soft smile and nodded. "i appreciate that, thank you. the same goes for you as well. if you ever seem to need some help, just call for me. we have to stick together in this strange world. if we don't, we'll all end up goners." she admitted.

[dromeda-tonks]

Andromeda sighs prior to giving a nod. "In that way, it is very much like home." She had grown very tired of her family and friends always being in jeopardy. "Do not worry, we will all keep each other as safe as we can. I've heard you are a highly capable dueler."

[drvcxrys]

(¸.• ♛ → that voice was annoying in her ears because the last time she has seen andromeda was when she decided to left and betray their family with that muggle born so she honestly was done wih her, bellatrix was the only sister she has left. "and why you are asking me? i prefer if you don't treat me with such familiarity since we are really nothing."

[dromeda-tonks]

"Because you would know. Unlike me, you still keep with those pathetic monsters." Andromeda responds in a cold tone. In her younger years, before the endless stream of loss, she used to be far more hopeful. A spiteful scoff comes out of her and she shakes her head lightly. "No. I no longer care about what you prefer and do not prefer. You can hide from the truth as much as you like, Cissy. But nothing will change the fact that I am still your sister. A sister that you betrayed, and that is something for you to deal with. It is not my burden of guilt to bare."

[mischiefxmuses]

closed starter for @dromeda-tonks (Andromeda x Rabastan)

"You shouldn't be here Andromeda." Rabastan looked up from his desk in his office at the back of his pub when she walked in. He knew that Cissy didn't really care about Andromeda, especially after the other clearly had no loyalty to her family but he wouldn't kill Andromeda, not unless Cissy asked him to "I suggest you leave right now and do not come back into my establishment." Rabastan was a calm man, he always was. Like the eye in the middle of a hurricane, you never knew when the wall of chaos would hit and destroy everything in it's path. "There is nothing you can say that I care about or any pathetic attempt to threaten me that will even phase me." He was preoccupied anyway with other things, planning his future with Cissy, treading water until the Dark Lord showed here, Andromeda was but a blip on his radar.

[dromeda-tonks]

Andromeda looks at him with an expression of cold evaluation. She hadn't known he had owned this pub and had been searching for a decent one to make part of her new life here. This pub, however was certainly now not only crossed off the list of possibilities but obliterated off of it. With the confidence of the blood status that tended to protect her against such monsters as he; she walks in further to respond to him. "As these Yanks say, it is a free country, is it not?" Not that she wished to spend any of her precious personal time around people who not only valued those she loved but wished them dead. "I am not one of the insane members of my family that just hands out threats. You are of no consequence to me or my true family. There used to be a time where I held hope for you all, but no more. You have resigned yourself to a pathetic life of hate and darkness and it was well earned."

[papcrrings-arch]

To say Teddy was startled was an understatement. He hugged her back, recognising the voice and tone easily but surprised by her appearance, "Nan?" he questioned to confirm his suspicion, "I'm okay. Well, I'm pretty great. I am so happy to meet mum. And Vic is here but..." he paused for a moment, chewing on his bottom lip, "Dad doesn't remember me."

[dromeda-tonks]

A soft single laugh escapes her at his confirming tone. "Yes, it's me, Teddy." She assures him before pulling back to smile warmly at him. "I couldn't be happier that you finally get to have her in your life. I'm also relieved to hear that darling Vic made it here with you." Hearing that Remus didn't remember caused Andromeda to pause for a moment. "We all went through quite a lot in coming here. It's a wonder all of our memories are not in shambles." The woman gives him a soft and reassuring squeeze to his upper arm. "Try to have patience with him. I am sure everything will be sorted in time. Perhaps... one day your Grandfather will be here too."

[musessongs]

Dora had missed her mother, while she was here -- always thinking of her, wondering how she was doing. Knowing that the likelihood was that Andromeda had taken Teddy in, after the deaths of Remus and Dora. She sighs shakily as her mother hugs her, embracing her back tightly. "Mum," She says, tears forming in her darkened eyes. "It's me, I swear it." Dora nods. As Andromeda pulls away to look at her, Dora's eyes turn lighter, and she smiles softly. "I love you, too." She takes a deep breath, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Teddy's here, too, mum, and he has a beautiful girlfriend, Bill and Fleur's eldest daughter." She wants to tell her everything, but isn't sure where to start.

[dromeda-tonks]

Andromeda hears the shakiness of her child's sigh and holds Dora more securely, as if she was afraid she would simply vanish from her embrace. "I know, having you safely in my arms again..." She leans her head against Dora's before she pulls away to look at her. Smiling at her finding it hard to speak; just being in this moment with her beloved child. Softly sweeping the tears off Dora's cheeks with her thumbs as she cups their face. ''You've seen him?" A sigh of relief escapes her. "He is a wonderful young man, so much like you. He was the reason I was able to carry on.. and Vic is a lovely girl. I am so happy those two have had each other, even here." Andromeda knew the incredible power of a beautiful healthy love and how it is something that you carry with you every moment of the day. "Tell me everything I've missed her. Everything about yours and Teddy's lives."

[dromeda-tonks]

How You Get The Girl - How good is your muse at giving advice? Are they considered to be the one in the group that others go to? Or the one others avoid?

Andromeda doesn't believe she is the leading authority in giving advice and will never claim to be. However, when she does give advice based upon what she knows and lived through she does become stubborn and defensive of it. Specially when people end up doing the complete opposite and then complaining to her about the result.

@dromeda-tonks | Draco & Andromeda. (continued from here)

Draco was not the biggest fan of their family -- very few of them were actually redeemable, and he did not count himself as one of those people. He had caused too much pain to others, he thought, he had done too many things wrong. He would do it over, if he could, fix his mistakes. So many people disliked him, he had terrorized his fellow classmates throughout the years. It was horrible, and yet, it was how he was raised. His father was a bully, as well. Draco was trying to make up for it here, to some degree. There were some people that surprised him, some that did not hate him completely. Some understood why, but most people didn’t.

He chuckles sadly at her words, unable to help himself. “I’ve become nothing but a disgrace, Aunt Andie,” He tells her, “I am still trying to make up for all the damage I have caused. My wife lost her life, it was probably karma, to punish me.” He cared a lot about people, truly, but it was difficult for him to show it. He also wanted to feel cared about, a feeling he rarely felt. “You don’t have to lie to me to make me feel better, it’s okay.” Draco nods. 

“You look good, truly. It’s nice to have you here,” It was nice to have a family member here who wouldn’t pressure him into anything, who wouldn’t encourage him to join the Death Eaters again. “I’m glad you’re here. And... I appreciate your kindness. You have a good heart.”

[dromeda-tonks]

Andromeda looked at him with a heartbroken expression as she goes to him to hold him close. "No. Draco, you are not a disgrace, you make me proud." Her hand soothingly rubs his upper back as he had whenever Dora was upset. "All of us make mistakes, its nearly unavoidable growing up the way we all did. You made it out. You protected your beautiful soul. And I'm sorry you know the pain of losing your spouse. You thinking that was karma for your wrongs is like me saying Ted being murdered was karma to me. It wasn't and I will never lie to you."

She pulls back enough to smile softly at him and his compliment. "Thank you, you have no idea how wonderful it is to hear you say that. Finally being able to be a part of your life is a wish come true." Andromeda says earnestly with a soft smile. She had always felt horrible that she couldn't be there more to protect him from their family and guide him to be proud of whoever he truly was. "So do you and I will stubbornly defend that truth until you believe it. Because it is the truth."

[dromeda-tonks]

"Teddy my darling." Andromeda says as she approaches her beloved grandson. After the loss of her husband and daughter, it was no doubt that Teddy became her saving grace. The reason to carry on through all of the pain. She instantly goes to embrace him, knowing there may be some confusion on his part, seeing her so much younger again. "I am so relieved to find you here safe and to know you've seen your Ma. You two finally get the chance to know each other, like you deserved." She pulls back to look at him, smiling. "How are you? How is everything going for you here?"

@papcrrings

[dromeda-tonks]

Every time Andromeda laid eyes upon her younger sister, her heart became overwhelmed with a mix of emotions. Although she had always tried to be open and make attempts to mend the family; the loss of her daughter and husband were devastating. So devastating that she hadn't made any more attempts to reach out to any surviving members of the Black family tree. At least not those that held the family motto in their hearts. "Narcissa." She greets plainly. "Who else is here?" @drvcxrys

@dromeda-tonks

"i know that we're getting very close to the spooky season again and I am both excited and nervous." ginny admitted. "last halloween was not a fun time."

[dromeda-tonks]

"I confess that I missed it. However, given all of the insanity I have been here to witness, I do not doubt it." That and she knew her friend's daughter was a good kid. All of Molly's kids were good in Andromeda's eyes, even the most difficult one of the bunch. "I know you are very capable, but if you should ever need anything, I will always be available to you." Dromeda would never be able to repay Molly for avenging her Dora, but she was going to do everything she can to try.

[dromeda-tonks]

"Dora, my beautiful and strong darling." Andromeda says breathlessly as she quickly approaches her child to give them a hug. Holding them securely in her arms as her hand comfortingly pets through her child's hair. "Please tell me it is truly you." She says as she pulls away just enough to look into Nymphadora's eyes. It never ceased to amaze her how easily she could see her husband within the features on their child's face. Bringing a hand up to caress their cheek. "I love you my Dearest Dora. I do not care the price of such magic, I have you back. You get to have a second chance. A second chance at a happy life. It gives me such hope." @empathiie

sirius & andromeda ( @dromeda-tonks )

"look what the hippogriff dragged in," they grinned at the sight of his favourite cousin. "if it isn't the other black family disappointment," he grinned. "good to see you, dromeda - how's life treating you?"

[dromeda-tonks]

She looks at her favorite cousin with a gaze filled with astonishment. He was here too, he was alive and safe. Andromeda couldn't tell how much they remembered yet beyond them both being outcasted. But before she could get out any words she pulls him into a hug. "I've missed you. And I'd rather not list the tragedies that have happened since I last saw you. The only good part was that I gained a beautiful grandchild." She pulls away to look at them, smiling after a moment. "I'm so glad you're here safe. Its been too long since I've had your mischief in my life. And I've grown boring without it."
